    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes it can. A 40 year old MP getting one? People able to game the system and get ahead? People in higher groups who had been told NOT to contact anyone suddenly finding out they had been missed and should make contact - urgently (otherwise it will go to someone in a lower group). Many questions...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The impeachment started while he was president. There are previous impeachments of former officials - though not presidents. Utterly illogical that being ex-president would protect. Remember the suggestions DT would stand down, Pence would take over - maybe pardon DT, then DT would return. That...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did I miss a few weeks? Has April started already? I see some Twitter comments are also utterly incredulous: The bit about a bridge being closed 100 days a year! What rot. It would be perfectly possible to design a fully or partially enclosed bridge. If the Øresund Bridge can work, so too...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The press often finds stories that are somehow both surprises and yet appear highly targetted at the issues du jour. Nelson urged mistress to give their baby girl 'new' smallpox vaccine Naval hero praises Jenner’s cowpox jab in a newly found love letter to Emma Hamilton, written as he prepared...

    But still seem to have lots of support which will likely only lose to even further right organisations.

    If they could have a one person/one vote approach to making that change, maybe. But from how I understand, that would not happen. They might shoot themselves in the feet. If they did get Texas to leave, the rest of the USA would almost certainly be Democrat...

    Someone I have heard about have had vomiting and diarrhoea. And no cough. Just recovering right now.

    The very last thing we need is his unfounded optimism. Again. Boris Johnson 'optimistic' about easing some England lockdown measures AND Matt Hancock hopes Covid will become treatable disease by end of 2021 Latest government policy is optimism and hope over science and reality. Wishful...

    No-one should ever press you to do anything like that. Deeply wrong.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So those who have little enough social interaction are condemned to even less? My point about right or wrong was really meant to say that there is a JCVI. They have been tasked with making the decisions (or at least, clear and strong recommendations). They should be continually reviewing...

    45mph wind, snow falling, white on ground. Think I'll go and make another cup of coffee... (Down here, snow sufficient to lie is relatively rare. Something like one year in four, at most.)

    Both negative. Test 14:30 yesterday - SMS came through at 05:05 this morning. Which is quite a surprise as they said one to three days. (The speed, not the result being negative.)

    In one sense, worrying, yes. But, while I didn't know the number claimed, something like that is not surprising - from where we now are, not claiming perfect hindsight. I imagine it approaches 100% for those in care homes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That was quite interesting. I certainly see the level of acceptance as being incredibly important. But I intensely dislike the "we might have to change priorities" line. Are JCVI right? Or not? If they are right, don't change it. If they are wrong, it needs to be sorted NOW! When even my...
